Any experience with a crown K1 or K2 amp?


Hi there, I am looking into the crown K2 and K1 amps for a subwoofer project. I could use any user info and am curious to see if it is still musical or just all out control like no other? I really love the idea of a 3000 damping factor and am curious to see how it plays out, Thanks

those K amps ere just stellar!

 i had a studio ref I for just a few weeks, did not have a 30 amp plug, which it requited, hell my whole house at the time was 100 amp.

  i regret selling it, but it would have popped the breaker in my house at every turn on.

 sad.

 those K amps are simply wicked !

   the specs are amazing, and the sound even better !

to those whom still use them, congrats, im jealous!
I too used the K2 for a pair of 18" subs.  Outstanding output, great control (damping factor) and totally dependable.
I've been using a K2 to drive my main L/R speakers for many years. I've changed out the speakers more than once during that time, but the amp is a keeper. Sounds as good as any I've heard, including several of the "high-priced spread" variety. Clean, detailed, effortlessly powerful, and able to drive difficult loads without breaking a sweat.

Although these are switching amps, the Class I technology that they incorporate represents some real breakthrough engineering, and is quite different from Class D.
